Thaksin Shinawatra, the billionaire former prime minister of Thailand, is set to make a significant return to his home country on August 10 after spending 15 years in voluntary exile. This news was disclosed by his daughter recently. 

The 74-year-old tycoon has been entangled in multiple criminal charges, but he has consistently maintained that these charges are politically motivated. Despite the legal challenges, he has expressed a strong desire to return to Thailand. Thaksin Shinawatra previously served as Prime Minister of Thailand on two separate occasions. However, his political journey took a turn in 2006 when he was ousted in a military coup.

His return to Thailand is likely to pose a complex situation for the pro-military and monarchist establishment in the country. Thaksin's presence could potentially exacerbate the already tense political climate in Thailand. The nation has been grappling with a political standstill since the head of the military-dominated Senate Move Forward Party (MFP) was prevented from assuming the position of prime minister despite winning the election in May of the previous year.
